Financial Controller | High-Growth Financial Services

£70,000 + Attractive Benefits Package

We’re partnering with a highly successful, entrepreneurial financial services business to recruit a Financial Controller as they continue through an exciting period of growth.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join an ambitious and commercially driven organisation with a genuinely strong culture. The business has grown rapidly, has further significant plans ahead, and is looking for a talented finance professional who wants to develop their career alongside that journey.

Reporting into the senior finance leadership team, you’ll take ownership of the financial control environment while playing a key role in developing the finance function as the business scales.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
